Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an enteroendocrine hormone that controls insulin secretion, intestinal function, and food intake. Recently in Nature, He et al. (2019) reported that gut intraepithelial T cells regulate GLP-1 bioavailability by capturing it on GLP-1 receptors and impacting L-cell numbers. This study delineates a novel endocrine-immune axis through which intestinal immune cells regulate whole-body metabolism.
胰高血糖素样肽-1(GLP-1)是一种肠内分泌激素,它可以控制胰岛素分泌、肠道功能和食物摄入。最近,He 等人在《自然》杂志上报道称,肠道上皮内 T 细胞通过捕获 GLP-1 受体上的 GLP-1 并影响 L 细胞数量来调节 GLP-1 的生物利用度。这项研究描绘了一条新的内分泌-免疫轴,通过这条轴,肠道免疫细胞可以调节全身代谢。
